Like the Husky, Hate the Dealer

By Chazlom, Posted September 26, 2006

I really like my new TC450, but have been unable to ride offroad due to not having the second spark arrested muffler that comes with the bike?

At time of purchase the dealer said that the 2nd pipe came from Husqvarna a defect and they were waiting for the new shipment to come in, the sales guy swore it would only be a week or so.

Well that was six weeks ago and I really want to ride the damn bike. The sale department is really giving me the run around and now not returning my phone calls. The customer service really sucks at this place. I also had to ask for the axle tool and Holeshot device, after I got the bike home.

At this point I wish I would have purchased from another dealer other than the one here in Riverside, CA.

What would you do?

Ahh the old tell the customer what he wants hear senario. Sorry to here that you cant ride your new weapon. Cant the dealer supply you with one from another bike in stock or an after market one or one from another dealer. Shouldn't they be accountable for this and rectify the issue as soon as possible. I think the squeaky wheel gets the oil so harrass the Sh*t out of him until he performs like somebody that just took your hard earned cash.

Sorry for your problems, choose your Husky dealer carefully...... Tool kits, jet kits and such really seem to be inconsistent. A good dealer goes out of their way to get these things straight. I travel over two hours to go to my dealer(Bottones Bradford, PA) when I have a dealer an hour away. Why? My dealer isn't a bs artist like the closer guy and goes the extra mile, which makes owning a Husky easy. As soon as you get your pipe, I'd find another dealer.

Oh so true on the dealer. Not to out do Norman, but I traveled 7.5 hrs to get to Bottones! Can anyone beat that? Actually, if I were you I would make one more pass at the dealership to switch a pipe off of something they have in a crate (TE), and if they do not comply, contact the US Importer directly (contact info in the little book with the owners manual). The importer needs to hear who is supporting them and who is not. This is a up and coming brand here in the states, and needs great dealers to thrive. Good luck.

I was not aware that the TC came with the Spark Arrestor?

I was under the impression you only get 2 Cans with the TE????

By ajaxauto, Posted September 26, 2006

Go get a sparkarrestor screen for just about any bike shop or pipe company and install it into your pipe while you wait for the correct pipe.There is

Bills pipe in corona also Flow exhust company in corona.My Husky 510

I agree with Bob I thought only the TE came with 2 cans

By baja me, Posted September 26, 2006

My TC came with the s/a can installed on the bike and the ti straight pipe came wrapped in bubble wrap along with tools and a holeshot device. This is the bike I bought from Heinens in Wisconsin. What dealer in Riverside are you dealing with?

There is only one Husqvarna dealer in Riverside and the owner was in the movie On Any Sunday. BTW I live in Riverside and I didn't buy my TE there.

"Like the Husky, Hate the Dealer"

LOL

Welcome to the club!!! The MD dealer is lousy too. With so many bike shops around I was hoping Husky would weed out the bad apples and find some better shops to represent the brand.

There are a bunch of great Husky dealers around. You've just got to know who they are. Check out Bottones. Fast By Ferracci is another good dealer in PA. There is also a good dealer in NJ somewhere.

If you think you are missing something that should have come with the bike you should call Cagiva USA.

The TCs come with two end pipes. The TEs come with one. Ajaxauto is correct. Get a screen now and wait for the pipe. Or buy one from Uptite for your bike now. One way is cheap ad one isn't. That dealer in Riverside doesn't respond to anyone unless you are talking charity ride or riding a KTM I've found over the last 20 months of emailing and calling them. The days of " On Any Sunday" and Husky fame are long gone... Steny

In Wisconsin, or in Osseo Minnesota?? They are 5 miles from me.

By baja me, Posted September 26, 2006

ok so I was close. You knew what I meant though.

Yeah...I did.

Last month I picked up a crated WR450F for a fellow TTer and drove it down to Denver to deliver it (going riding there anyway). Heinens moves some bikes....that's for sure.

By MotoXotica, Posted September 26, 2006

for the record.2006 TEs should get only one pipe even tho a small # got 2.also 2006 TCs should have gotten 2 pipes.to the fellow that started this post i will install a screen in your Ti can for $85.00 parts and labor incase that would help.dan.

By baja me, Posted September 26, 2006

I would recommend the ti pipe mod as well as Motoxotica and the excellent service there!! Thank you for that Dan.

I drive 6 hours or 7 if I pick up Norm on the way there! Worth the trip

Liked the movie and enjoyed meeting "the man" at his store. But after dealing with the sales staff I left with $7K burning a hole in my pocket and went elsewhere.

Call Uptite he has a new trick silencer for the Husky.

Also mine came w/2 mufflers, 1 for woods(so they passed epa import requirements?), and the one I use(ti) for mx competition. Also came w/holeshot device. Personally(you can ask alot of people), Halls Cycles(spfld., Ill.) will probably be the most popular dealer among the majority of long term husky owners.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Rider Starts his Quest to Defend Cross-Country Rallies World Championship
March 15, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Pablo Quintanilla will re-start his 2018 international rally racing campaign on March 24 to 29 at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge in the United Arab Emirates. Working hard towards returning to full competitive fitness following a foot injury sustained during the closing stages of the Dakar Rally, Pablo’s teammate Andrew Short is expected to join the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing squad at the 2018 Merzouga Rally in mid-April.

With the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge playing host to the opening round of the 2018 FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Championship, the event in the UAE will see Pablo Quintanilla begin the defence of his FIM Cross-Country World Championship title. Securing eighth overall at the 2018 Dakar Rally in January, the Chilean rally star is already looking forward to a solid return to racing aboard his FR 450 Rally machine.
Successfully wrapping up his debut participation at the prestigious Dakar Rally with a top 20 result, Andrew Short has been recuperating from a fractured tibia and fibula on his lower right leg. Resuming his training sessions in the middle of March, the American has his eyes set on making a return to racing at the Merzouga Rally on April 15/20, in the dunes of Morocco.
Celebrating its 28th edition in 2018, the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge is a six-stage-long rally taking place in the southern part of the United Arab Emirates. Kicking off with the traditional Super Special Stage on Saturday, March 24, the event will continue with five more days of racing in the Liwa Desert before competitors reach the finish line inside the Yas Marina circuit on March 29, 2018.

Pablo Quintanilla: “Abu Dhabi will be our first race after the Dakar and I’m really looking forward to it. It’d be good to start the season carrying the #1 plate on my Husqvarna as the reigning champion. With it being the first race for the new season, it is important for everybody. My goal is to get a good race pace from the beginning in order to be inside the group of leading riders. The season will be long and my plan is to continue improving my pace as the racing goes on. I want to get back my racing speed and also remain strong throughout the event in Abu Dhabi. Taking place in deep sandy dunes, the Desert Challenge is always a tough event and it is also highly probable that we will have to race in high temperatures. It’s going to be a challenge but I’m looking forward to it.”

Hey,
Looking for some Wiring Harness, Connections and Installation assistance for installing a Tusk Universal Under the Fender LED Taillight with Brake Light on a Husqvarna 2017 TX300
The UTFLight comes with a plastic connector that would work with the tusk enduro lighting kit which i'll be removing so that I can plug into the stock harness.
I've been told the stock harness is the same as what would be included on the TE Model, minus the actual headlight/taillight being present; which is the case for the headlight wiring . it's all there ready to go. For the taillight/brakelight however there is a bit more to be done. There are NO wires running to the rear of the bike or within the SubFrame as some have noted
I'll need to run to existing wires, and could use some guidance for which connectors are needed, if a supplementary harness is required(if so which one) and which wires to connect to on the existing harness. There is very limited info in the manual (for either bike: TE/TX) or complete color harness diagram with info and connector information anywhere that I could find.
I also picked up the Tusk Brake Switch Banjo bolt for the Brembo brakes (two wire, bullet connectors) - https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/docs/Brake switch instructions.pdf
On the Brake side under the front/bottom of gas tank near radiator there is an existing connector (I think for radiator fan) and from it, two unused wires, I would say for tapping into the existing harness. 1 Solid Brown, 1 Yellow/Red -
Shifter side, near the bottom rear of tank I found taped up cylinder style connector (Someone can enlighten me) i think switch wires ? maybe some terminator, each with the same color wire in as out. One is Gray/Black and the other White/Black
Under the cdi box is a three plug connector with two wires, 1 Brown and 1 White, third unused- i was hopeful this could be the tail light connector but am unsure
Help on harness, connector names /types and setup is very much appreciated

I'm just putting the finishing touches on my streamlined version of the BOZZA DRAFT shop manual for the 610. I've removed everything but the english language & made it easy to find what you're looking for. I re-wrote the part about the computer with many thanks to Xfool but I'd like a little proof reading here. In particular I'm not real sure about the Service Interval section. If any of you would be willing to double check what I've got here & report back with any errors or omitions I'd be greatful. (I added another section on adding & removing screens) Also I don't know if it's legal to post this for public consumption but I'd be happy to share it with anyone who want's a copy.
